(Actually, I just realised that I’m mentioned on Google Scholar, too, though not in regards to anything that I’ve really had anything to do with, apart from helping the actual writer clean up the writing and doing a bit of proofreading.)

You are still only one of the smartest kids at your high school ?
Not THE smartest yet ? What have you been doing the last months ?

Oh, I know. You finally found teh ladies on the intarwebs. It's going downhills now

We got a new school and all of the rednecks (IQ under 80) stayed at the old one, now we have more geeks and I finally found 2 other Mac users. One of which is doing collage level courses. The other one loves Dubbua (hes not a redneck tho).

Interesting Fact: Long story short, I thought I lost my iPod so after giving up on trying to find it, I got a new one. Several months later, I'm cleaning up my room a little bit and open up a magazine rack that's built into my bed which is normally blocked by my camera stuff, bookbag, and other junk, and at the bottom of it I see my long lost iPod. Since I already have the exact same one, I gave it to my half-sister who wanted a new iPod.
MacNNers on cell phone: Huh?
Disability/Allergies: I more than likely have OCD and social phobia (never professionally evaluated) and I'm allergic to cats.

Why not? I've just aquired them over the years. They all have their specific uses. The Mac mini is my editing machine, the PowerBook G4 is my portable, the Power Mac G4 and iMac G5 I keep at school for editing, the G3s are servers.

I'm not that skinny. I'm just lean and have a decent amount of muscle and not that much fat.
